It has been ages since the last #postrocksunday post has been live and I thought it would be good to share some good instrumental music. The band I wanted to focus on today are coming from Australia and are called sleepmakeswaves. I'll be honest and admit I haven't really listened to them thoroughly before this morning, although I always knew they make awesome music and "The Obstacle Is The Path" is the living proof of that!

The cool thing of this song is that despite the fact is lasts only 3 minutes and 20 seconds (rather unusual for the genre), it feels... extremely completed and developed. The thing is that in post-rock often tracks take time to really build up and create the suspense the artists are looking for and I don't know what these guys are doing while creating the structure of the track, but it's just... yeah, oddly cool.

The track isn't part of their "official" discography. On their SC page I found the story behind writing this song:

We originally wrote this song for a Parkour crew to use in one of their videos. People dug it a lot, so here it is. Enjoy.
